Title: Pandaren NPC (NOT RACE) to populate Pandaria
Post by: Piccolodmq on January 22, 2016, 07:18:04 am

Hi there

I want to populate pandaria, with Pandarens...  but everytime I try to create custom npcs that look like Pandarens... they look like mesh of poligons, or crashes the client.   Any help, on another way of getting Pandaren npc  for wow 3.3.5a?

Thanks

decimate them in M2redux you problems is caused by overstepping poly/vertex limit

Here what I did for  a worgen custom NPC... but still failed.


# tools
1-tallis
2-photoshoop
3-wow model viewer
4-blp2png converter

we need 3 dbc
creaturedisplayinfo.dbc
creaturedisplayextra.dbc
creaturedisplaydata.dbc

we pick the race
worgen.male (example)  
(setup appareance)
Disable Cloack, helm, weapons, and show hair. (for this example

write all thing on notepad. (copy)
skin color = 4
Face Type = 2
Hair Color = 7
Hair Style = etc.
f feautre 21
F color = 1
Item Displayids
Head - 70759
Shirt - 52960
Legs - 14332
put the rest as none

Character -> Show Hair uncheck
Then
file export
Export Model X3D   to BLP2 file

only one we need is worgen example_0 one export.
saved as 512 x 512 worgen example ok 2 times.

no take worgen exampleto Blop2png tool (drag it)

it makes a worgenexample.blp files


---------------------
On server
CreatureModelData.dbc

open with taliis (in server folder)

now we find the modelid of the worgen male 12298  (charachter/worgen male)

open Creature displayinfo extra.dbc  (this needs a txt he made me to find wich row is what).

we cchose latest Id plus 1. 29527 +1 =29528
then Creaturedisplayinfoextra
Then we fill rowsusing guide he made on a text.

From field 8 until field 18.   are item displayids.
20 is texture name.  ( go to string table) worgenexample.blp inthis case it generates a number copy it (left to the name you wrote)  and copy it in field 20

we use the new creature display extra. 29528

amd gp tp

CreatureDisplayInfo.dbc

Go to last one and make a new one.  (last one +1) 40111+1 40112
field the fields with table.
model id is first 12298
change to new display (259529 new typed display)

just edti to field 4
Find race id in (chrRaces.dbc) worgen is raceid 12

Then change each to a folder and add to patch.

mpq editor

open find patch 7 in this case (dbcfile client). and chose creature diplay infoand extra.

add new folder Textures / BakedNpcTexture   open here our worgennpc.blp file.  (this name has to be the same as in tallis one)


This worked form me for worgen´s butnot for Pandaren NPC
